Wednesday is the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua/ patron of lost things./ May we not be lost to the darkness/ but find our way to Christ,/ find our way to our true selves as God's dear ones,/ find our way to one another./ We pray to the Lord.
Pope Francis has written: "Human beings and nature must not be at the service of money...That economy destroys the Earth."/ We ask forgiveness for the sins of indifferent-greed and exploitation/ that leave our planet a wasteland./ May we learn God's wisdom./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for those whose life is a grind,/ who are detained at border crossings/ who have lost everything to war or disaster./ We pray for the world's children/ mindful that many live in misery./ We pray to the Lord.
For the politicians and public servants of our nation,/ to be unite-rs,/ courageous in facing the problems of poverty, /racism and gun-mayhem./ For leaders to feel the wounds and burdens of people./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the sick and those who are weakened by age/. We ask comfort and friendship for mourners and people who are depressed or exhausted./ For the healing of prisoners and the victimized./ We pray to the Lord.
For June graduates and the safety of summer travelers./ For those we know who need help and companionship to get through the struggles and difficulties of the week ahead./ We pray to the Lord.
